Polltakers - if possible please leave a comment, even if anonymous. I am really interested in others thoughts and how they deal with sticky smelly situations.

I personally do not care unless the situation REALLY grants for it. I do not start conflict and keep to myself so usually people are just projecting on me something that has nothing to do with me at all, but this is my experience and how I feel about it. How about everyone else?

Someone posted this in another group but then deleted it. The conversation was really good though and sparked some interesting replies.

LOL I really do not care what people think of me. My husband knows that if I want to do something then I am going to do it. Like if I am going to do my hair a certain way then I am going to do it whether he likes it or not. LOL he loves everything I do so I don't have to listen to that garbage about how I have to be his personal Barbie. When my family tells me how to live they know that doesn't fly well. I live my life the way I want to. The only time I think about what others think of me is when I need to be professional for work or that my little monkey's are watching me so how to be a proper role model. But as far as how my style goes, what I believe in, and how I live my life it is up to me.

I am clean, so in that since I care enough to not go around looking like a slob, but outside caring enough to not make the general stranger cringe and edge away from me I do not do anything special to change peoples perceptions of me. I'm generally a very happy, outgoing and positive person, but I don't include everybody into my "caring" circle.

My view on people in general I realize is a cold one but it's one I've adopted after many years of dealing with the wrong people, and caring too much. If they aren't a person I will shed a tear over if they were to die today and they aren't a person I would go to their funeral then they aren't a person I will bother caring enough to even argue with much less care if they get upset over something I say or do.

Yes and no. It depends on the situation. I always smile at everyone when I'm out and I'm always freindly. I would hate for someone to think badly of me but if they do that's their deal. I'm a nice person.

Yes. I often say, "If she tripped, fell, and died I would just go 'well... sh*t happens'". I totally agree with you.

I don't really care either - In certain situations yes, I will fold and be empathetic to others. But over the past few years I have learned to live for me ... not for the job, not to please my parents, friends or Jack or Jill. If I listened to everyone around me, I wouldn't be with DH right now ... but I am. Take me for who I am or leave it.
